Synthetic Turf Field GMAX Testing

The Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) in Virginia is seeking bids from qualified, experienced, and independent third-party companies to conduct testing of impact attenuation (GMAX) on 103 synthetic turf athletic fields across Fairfax County and Fairfax County Public Schools sites. The successful bidder must have the staff, equipment, and experience to conduct the testing in accordance with ASTM standards, and is preferred, but not required, to be a member of ASTM and the Synthetic Turf Council and have a licensed professional engineer on staff. The testing will be conducted once in the Spring (March) and once in the Fall (September) of 2024, with retesting of non-compliant fields as necessary. Bidders must submit pricing as a cost per test/field, which should include the cost for the individual field test reports, consolidated reports for FCPA and FCPS fields, and meetings with the Project Manager(s) and designated Property Owner(s) to review the reports and prioritize any necessary repairs. The GMAX test reports are to be provided within 5-7 business days of completing the testing. The bid submission deadline is March 6, 2024.
